📍 Aftermath

The latest coverage linked the mysterious cosmic hum to a speculative population of ancient dark stars, suggesting they may have produced a detectable gravitational‑wave signal. Studies and reports highlighted this hypothesis as a possible explanation, but no definitive confirmation was presented.

Consequently, the story remains unresolved, with the hum still attributed to dark‑star theories.
